Abstract

This text -a "dialogue-construction"- is reproduced from the old print issue of Metalogos, No 17, pp. 48-56 (2010). It was based on Gianfranco Cecchin's opening speech: The Irreverent Therapist as a Social Constructionist, at the 1st International EFTA Congress, in Sorrento, Italy, 1992.

It is surprising and moving to recall what Gianfranco was introducing and how up-to-date are the points he was making then.
